    Hello guys, for a while now I've been wanting a 70cc saw and have also want a project saw, so I decided to combine the two. I was wondering what husqvarna models can be rebuilt (piston, cylinder, carb, etc.) to be a 272xp?

    Thanks

    Have you considered a complete clone 372?

    If you go that way, watch the shipping costs. They can get pretty darned high. There is a long thread on another site and a short one on this site about building a MS660 from AM parts like that. Weaknesses in the AM parts are often noted but people are ending up with functioning saws. I don't know of a thread on the 372 clone but I'm sure it exists somewhere.

    Thanks for the heads up at ArborTec. They also had the Huztl MS660 I have been considering on special for $145 plus shipping and now I have a confirmation e-mail for a total under $250.
